I am staying in Frankfurt for a week and am looking into a Germany Rail Pass so that I can use the trains to visit other cities in Germany. I am a little confused as to how the trains work. The rail pass says unlimited train travel for a certain number of days, but then the fine print says you have to pay extra for reservations? How much are the reservations? And do I need to pay every time I get on a train? Would it be cheaper to buy individual train tickets?
I%26#39;m also looking into taking the train to Fussen so I can see Neuschwanstein. Is this possible using a rail pass?

%26gt; How much are the reservations?
EUR 4,00 per train (incl. one change of trains).
a) reservations are not compulsory. With a rail pass you can just hop on and off any train.
c) you can only reserve seats with EC/IC or ICE trains. But not with regional trains.
%26gt; And do I need to pay every time I get on a train?
No. Reservations make sense for longer trips esp. during peak times (e.g. Friday and Sunday afternoon and evenings).
%26gt; Would it be cheaper to buy individual train tickets?
Depends on your itinerary.
Of course you can reach F��ssen on a rail pass. Like any other railway station in Germany.
